For the EH Gurus...

And since I'm yet Unassigned - please hand over the Peru Chapter. I think I can work in the Foreign Prime Minister (Ties to the Japan Chapter, perhaps?) and the similarities between the Nazca Plains and the Plains of Leng.


Daniel Harms
I forget who was doing the Peru chapter of EH, but here's a few Mythos things to check out.

1. In the Keeper's Compendium (to be rereleased by Chaosium soon, AFAIK), in the section on the Pnakotic Manuscripts, a few Pnakotic hieroglyphs are mentioned as being present on the plains of Nazca.

2. One of Lumley's stories mentioned an abandoned (IIRC) Deep One city within Lake Titicaca called Yatta-Uc.

3. Check out "The Gorge Beyond Salpunco" in TRAIL OF CTHULHU. Sure, it's Derleth and as such kind of corny, but there's some neat Cthulhu/Inca parallels there.

Is there any room for cameos from the Peruvian scenarios "The Pits of Bendal- Dolum" and "The Temple of the Moon," from Chaosium's "Terror From The Stars"? There's some sweeet Shub-fu and Fungi-fu there. Make it an OG fest: Nazca lines as an ancient Fungal device for calling up Daoloth/Yog/Shub, depending on the alignment of the stars and what-not. Throw in possible exposure to the Grey/Mi-Go thing, maybe; maybe the Nazca lines show a pattern reminiscent of sigils examined by Majestic's PLUTO and REDLIGHT projects.

Looking good.

Just nitpicking, but IIRC, TPoBD was set in Belize. TTotM was Peruvian, though. Also, maybe a cameo by Viracocha (Cthulhu according to Comte d'Erlette)?

Just checked with the wife--she sez Yukio sounds strange for a woman's name, suggests Yukiyo or Yukiko. The former presents almost no change in pronunciation. (The reason I thought to check was 'cause I knew Yukio is a man's name through Yukio Mishima, the writer--but it sounded like a possible woman's name to me, too. Some Japanese names are dual-gender, but usually it's the same beginning with a different ending, just like most Euro-Amercan names.)

Ooh, just checked with her on meaning! Kewl.
[Begin Michael Layne mode ;-) ]
"Yuki" means snow (I'm leaving out other, less common kanji that can be used--this could get seriously detailed otherwise) in both names. The "-ko" is a very common name-ending for women; it can mean "child" or "small," depending on the kanji. (Both names of the Mythos lady in "Yuki Onna" meant "Snow Child"--a surprisingly common name, in both versions.)

More interesting is Yukiyo. The most common kanji for "-yo" means "age" or "period," as in The Iron Age, or The Tokugawa Period. Thus, the name could mean "Age of Snow"-- something slightly similar to Fimbulwinter. Hmmmm.

Is Uncle Joe displaying some kinda "thing" for Asian women? :-0

SuperDave

That'd work great. Is the Marshal in the Archive, or can you post him to me privately? I'd also love to hear about his previous adventure, because I'm sure I could spin it into the Chapter without too many problems.

Well, I'll be inserting a smattering of the Antarctic in my EH chapter (It's Peru! It's The Ross Ice Shelf! Flying Nazis! Shining Path Lemming Dying Like Cattle! Rifts to Other Dimensions! Deep Ones!! Reserve your copy now! [Note: Some of these things may or may not appear. Subject invalid in Tennesse and Hawaii. Offer only for a limited time. Limit three per customer]).

Windmill Dunk!!!

ObEH, mainly for MiB:
Just some little information for chapter 12, on the coordinates for La Estancia. A brazilian friend of mine told me once that in the south eastern part of the country, "ex-Germans" wanted to have a state on their own, inside Brazil. I don't want to say that they're all neonazis (or at all), but the main target for ODESSA was Latin America, and normally, when people live in secluded areas or "surrounded" by other cultures they either assimilate (no Star Trek here) or their ideologies get to be more extreme, so maybe that gives you a few ideas to flesh out the chapter.
MiB: Do you have an outline of chapter 12 yet? I'm interested because, I'd like to know how much your viewpoint of the Triumvirate has an influence on the chapter. And whether it's the only chapter that's influenced by it.
